Tom Senior of PC Gamer enjoyed the "oppressive" and "hellish" atmosphere created by the deliberate use of old rendering techniques and effects. Kill Screen writer Davis Cox praised the "frenetic, bullet hell" nature of Devil Daggers, but felt that there was opportunity to incorporate more interesting levels and spaces into the game. Devil Daggers was considered to be a perfect distillation of old school arena shooters by Zack Furniss, writing for Destructoid. They also thought that Devil Daggers refined on so much of the borrowed elements, that it would be inaccurate to simply call the game a "nostalgic throwback". They welcomed the inclusion of advanced movement techniques, saying they felt "fresh" when implemented in a survival context. The game's fluid movement system was compared to arena shooters Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament 2004 by Edge magazine. Reviewers were pleased with how Devil Daggers offered a stripped-down experience of these games, and provided a fast and pure gameplay experience. Critics compared the gameplay and graphics favourably to first-person shooters of the 1990s such as Doom and Quake.

At least I think, I haven't double-checked.Inspired by 1990s FPS and arcade games, Devil Daggers is a fast-paced shooter that places you in an abyssal arena to face endless legions of demons. The laughing hornskulls make the results read "gored" when they kill you, and the two-sided spawners appear to have gone from sacrificers to desecrators.
I noticed they changed the "names" of a couple enemies. Also there are two new enemy types, and some of the timings and placements on spawns seem different? This game was updated yesterday, new leaderboard and everything. I got my Golden Dagger, and I'm never going to beat my five minute record. That 660 #1 run is pure insanity to watch. If the leaderboards are any judge, game is still selling steadily, but there's not much movement in the upper ranks. I still go back to it every once in awhile. They burn bright like the sun, but they burn for a very short time and when they're done burning they snuff quickly and utterly. Games like this are a little like anti-aircraft flares.
